‘RSS-BJP’s real target is social justice’: Priyanka hits out at Bhagwat over reservation remarkhttps://indianexpress.com/article/india/priyanka-gandhi-vadra-mohan-bhagwat-reservation-rss-bjp-congress5920515/

Alleging that the Narendra Modi-led government was throttling pro-people laws, Priyanka said the “real target” of the RSS-BJP was social justice. “The confidence of the RSS is high and intentions are dangerous. At a time when the BJP government is throttling pro-people laws, the RSS has also raised the issue of debate on reservation,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.

RSS prachar pramukh (publicity head) Arun Kumar had said the organisation has made it clear time and again that it fully supports reservation.

“A needless controversy is being created over a portion of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s address at a programme in Delhi. While stressing on the importance of finding solutions to all issues in the society through mutual discussion in a harmonious way, he had said sensitive issues like reservation should be considered in a similar manner,” Kumar said.

Taking a swipe at the BJP government, Priyanka had yesterday said either PM Modi and his dispensation no longer respect RSS’s views that all issues should be resolved through “cordial dialogue” or they do not believe there is an “issue” in Jammu and Kashmir.

So the RSS has declared in a tweet that all “issues in the society” should be resolved through cordial dialogue?
I suppose either Modiji and his government no longer respect the RSS’s views or they don’t believe that there is an “issue” in Jammu and Kashmir. Interesting….

BJP ally and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan contended that there is no need for any “debate” on the issue of reservation and said that it is a constitutional right of the weaker sections of society.

“There is no need for any debate on reservation. This is now available even to the upper castes poor so it is impossible that it will be ended,” he told reporters. Paswan also highlighted that PM Modi has reiterated it many times that it can not tampered with. However, he did not react directly to Bhagwat’s comments, saying he had not got details of his remarks.
